Other than a couple of dioceses in danger of bankruptcy, you mean?
I don't think anything's getting "brushed under the rug" when there are tens of millions of dollars and the future existence of the Catholic Church in some parts of the country at stake, no.
There are also unscrupulous lawyers trolling in prisons for men who will testify that priests abused them. As one reportedly said, "Whether it's true or not doesn't matter ... there's a lot of money at stake here."
OTOH, I recently read an estimate that there may be more sexual abuse victims among students in public schools in California than there are students, period, in the Catholic school system in that state.
But you won't hear about that from the secular media.
I am sure that Cali is rife with the abusers in the school system, being Cali and all.
And the media is always ready to swoop in like a vulture on anything vaguely religious to make hypocrisy charges.
I think that is why we must be on guard to defend those wrongly accused within the church vigorously, and condemn those that do wrong more so. Even the appearance of hiding wrongdoing becomes the defending of it in the eyes of the enemies of the faith.
